AHEC’s Role in the Affordable Care Act
EDUCATION & ENROLLEMENT:
Starting October 1, 2013, consumers in Louisiana will be able
to choose new affordable health insurance options through a new Health Insurance Marketplace.
In Louisiana, the Federal Government and the four AHECs will
federally-facilitate the marketplace.
In Louisiana, Navigators will play a vital role in helping
consumers prepare electronic and paper applications to establish eligibility and enroll in coverage through the Marketplaces and potentially qualify for an insurance affordability program.
Navigators will also provide outreach and education to raise
awareness about the Marketplace, and refer consumers to health insurance ombudsman and consumer assistance programs when necessary.
